About Naimeya

Who am I?

My name is Adriana Terán Aguilar, graduated in Sociology in 2008 and in Social Anthropology in 2010.

In 2009, I founded Apurva association and through it I had the chance to be close to most of the volunteers who collaborated on the projects I coordinated in Madrid, Morocco and other destinations during 5 years. In 2013, I embarked on a volunteering journey for a period of 1 year and a half in Cameroon – Africa as an administrator and Director of a hospital.

Since then, my passion for reading, researching, traveling and learning about other cultures has led me to dedicate myself and my time to the training and orientation of international volunteers ( I work since the last 8 years in the field of international volunteering). Since few years ago, I created this association, Naimeya International Volunteer, with the aim of being a platform where people can find NGO that are seeking for volunteers.

What makes me different?

Working side by side with volunteers for the last 8 years, and coordinating volunteering programs in different destinations, gave me the opportunity to understand more what a person is looking for while participating in a volunteering project.

You might be looking for an opportunity to involve yourself in a specific project created by one of the NGOs we collaborate with, or a chance to improve your resume by doing an internship, or simply travel in a different way and create an experience that might change your life One hundred and eighty degrees; I am here to help you out!

NAIMEYA is the Sanskrit word for “ Exchange “ since I believe that international volunteering is not just about offering help and travelling in a different country, but it is about the cultural exchange that happens between people and the share of knowledge and lifestyles.

International volunteering is not just about offering help and spending time in a different country, but based mainly on the knowledge and cultural exchange, from where the name NAIMEYA appeared.

For 90€ charge, you will receive all the help, orientation and answers for all your doubts and questions (Information about different programs, countries, Visa requirements, vaccinations, flights, etc…) and we will manage and process your application and give you the contacts you need.

Testimonials

“This volunteering experience has been one of the best experiences of my life that I would never forget. It wasn´t just the journey or the visit of a new country and a new culture, but it was more about the good feeling I had spending my time and what knowledge with the girls of the orphanage. From the beginning, my relationship with Didi and the girls was very special; they made me feel home, I could teach English following my own way, I had time to play with the girls and help in the daily maintenance tasks of the orphanage.I am not just happy about what I could offer but happy as well about all what I received. Didi was hospitable and many lessons were learned through this experience. When you see what others do not have, you start appreciating what you do have.”

India - Orphanage program - 2017

“I am trying to get out of my astonishment of what I experienced in Ghana in my two short weeks, and always remembering the good times I had there. I will repeat this experience without a second thought. The day I arrived in Ghana thinking that everything would be different but always believing that nothing could surprise me, I realized that I was totally confused. On the way to Ho, where I started my volunteer work, I was already involved in their lives and customs.The first day I went to the school and the orphanage and I saw the children, I knew that I would never regret having taken one of the best decisions of my life. I can assure you that they gave me much more than what I tried to give them. I never imagined that someone can pronounce my name and make me feel so special! Every smile and hug, that have been thousands, have exceeded all the expectations that I had.Thanks to Prince and his team who, at all times have been very attentive and let me enjoy much more than what was scheduled. The moments I lived in the villages with hundreds of children waiting to play were great, and without them, nothing was possible.Going down the street in an unknown country, thousands of miles away from your family and friends, and having the feeling of being at home is something inexplicable.Again thank you very much for everything, without you nothing would have been the same. ¡Until my next trip.”

Ghana - Education progam - 2016

"It has been a very gratifying experience and I cannot wait to repeat it!People are so friendly so we built a close relationship that made me feel like being in a small family. The education program is very well coordinated and I was able to work very well as an English teacher. The hostel is perfectly conditioned so the time you are there you feel at home, very clean and the breakfast service and dinners were excellent. In short, it has been an experience that everyone should experience at any time of their lives. Thank you for helping me in all the steps of this unforgettable experience,Until next time."

Tanzania - Education program - 2016

"The experience has been very positive in all aspects. I guess it was a bit of a different experience because it was just right during their vacation but it is also true that I had more time to spend with them. The treatment I received from the director of the orphanage, Mr. Krishna, was exceptional; He did not just help me when I joined the house, but during my free time as well and He got involved in showing me the city and explained to me a lot about the country. It is an experience that I will recommend to my colleagues in case someone decides to carry out volunteering. My only problem was the fact of spending just 15 days since it is a very short time but I really want to thank you for your commitment and attention! without you I would not be able to carry out this experience. Thanks for everything Adriana!."

Nepal - Child care program - 2015

"Volunteering has been the best experience of my life. It was very good and made me learn how to appreciate things that we do not value in our life. The organization could be improved for what we are accustomed but we must take into account that Africa works very differently and, therefore, you cannot expect it to be the same as here. The accommodation was very nice compared to the typical houses there, a 10!I would like to do volunteer work again next summer so we keep in touch Adriana, thank you very much for everything! "

Ghana - Child care program - 2012

"The truth is that it went very well. When I arrived the Happy Home was ready, so we dedicated our time to arrange a room in the volunteers’ house in order to create a Day Care Center. Once finished, we opened it to take careof the children, and teach English for the ones that are not in school yet, and we were spending the afternoons helping the Happy Home´s children with their homework and playing with them.It has been a very good opportunity to know the culture thoroughly and share unforgettable moments with all the children. At first, everything seems different and even the living conditions can be hard but being in such a beautiful place and being able to help the children and enjoy time with themmake you feel home from the second day.Even if the purpose of going there is to help, but you can learn a lot as well from the way you live and feel; All in all it is a very positive experience that I recommend to everyone”

Nepal - Community development program - 2016

"The experience has truly been unforgettable. The volunteering work that I have done was just enchanting. I was giving health workshops for children in different orphanages and I think it has served them a lot and served me since I was able to learn a lot from them. I was treated in a very nice way and the attention the organization gave us has been very good.Many thanks to you for helping me organize everything from the beginning. I have no complaints, everything went better than I expected. I'm sure I'll recommend it to my friends. "

Perú - Health Program - 2015

“The experience was awesome! For me it was really good, from the volunteer work (it was what I was expecting, even something more, because for example we made exhumaciones of nidos, something new for me) to the experience of sharing and living with volunteers from others countries. The entourage of Camaronal is very wild and beautiful, it is fantastic… In general terms, the experience was very good. I helped in the conservation of the turtles, I have collaborated on the maintenance of the refugee, I have cooked for my colleagues,… even I left my print in the security house. Everything was as I was expecting, and it is an experience 100% to recommend. Many thanks Adriana!”

Costa Rica – Turtles Conservation Program (2013)

"I got in touch with Adriana Terán and I processed my international volunteer work in India, I got all kinds of information and facilities for managing my visa, information about the country, etc. She puted me in touch with a local association and enrolled me in one of his projects at a handicapped children's center in Jaipur, as well as providing me with accommodation and all kinds of assistance both before my trip and during my stay in Jaipur.I have been able to enjoy this experience, with all the facilities within my reach and it has been totally enriching. Entering a place like India in my case, totally different from what we are accustomed both culturally and resource level, is to enter into an unforgettable experience, which I recommend to all people who are attracted to it.Thank you very much Adriana.
